Beautiful Woman, Wanna Go Out?

Hokage Building, conference room.

At the head of the rectangular conference table, the young Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat upright.

To his left, a young man with short brown-gray hair and glasses adjusted his frames, his expression grave.

At the head of the right side, Danzo suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Hiruzen, we cannot indulge them any longer! For the sake of the village, make a decision now!"

"Calm down, Danzo. Now is not the time to move against them," the young woman with long, snow-blue hair coiled high on her head said in a measured tone.

"Don't get so worked up; anger is bad for your health," another man, whose physique had expanded entirely in the horizontal direction, said with a smile to smooth things over.

It was unclear what had happened to bring the highest-ranking advisors of Konoha's current decision-making body together here.

The man in glasses was none other than the high-ranking Konoha advisor, Mitokado Homura.

The young woman with the snow-blue coiled hair was the high-ranking Konoha advisor, Utatane Koharu.

The fat man was the current patriarch of the Akimichi clan and high-ranking Konoha advisor, Torifu Akimichi.

Just as the atmosphere in the conference room became stiflingly heavy, the five people present all had their expressions change simultaneously.

"This violent aura that has suddenly appeared in the village..." Danzo frowned, as if trying to recall something.

Exchanging a glance with Mitokado Homura, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately pulled a crystal ball from his robes and performed hand seals rapidly. "Telescope Technique."

The crystal ball instantly displayed a scene from near the Ninja Academy.

Once the group saw the image in the crystal ball clearly, the other four looked at Danzo with strange expressions.

"Ahem... this little brat, he only knows how to cause me trouble..." Danzo felt uncomfortable under their gazes and coughed awkwardly twice.

"What kind of ninja beast is this? A three-tailed fox? How does it feel somewhat similar to the Nine-Tails..." Mitokado Homura looked at Danzo suspiciously.

If it weren't for the fact that the person residing in the Senju compound possessed unfathomable strength—to the point where even if Madara Uchiha were resurrected today, it would be hard to say if he could gain the upper hand against that person—he would have suspected that the Nine-Tails had been released.

"Cough... that fox claims to be from the Fox Immortal clan of Qingqiu Mountain. It has quite the ego, claiming to be one of the four great sacred sites, on par with Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest." Danzo hesitated for a few seconds before finally revealing what he knew.

"Qingqiu Mountain? The four great sacred sites? The Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest has a friendship with the First Hokage, and the summoning scroll for the Slug Sage is currently in that person's possession. I have heard the First and Second Hokage mention Ryūchi Cave and Mount Myōboku, but this Qingqiu Mountain? I have never even heard of it," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, bowing his head in thought.

"Indeed, never heard of it," the others said, shaking their heads after a moment of contemplation.

Danzo's expression was slightly grave: "At first, I didn't really believe it either, but now I am starting to."

"Oh?" The four looked at Danzo, waiting for him to continue.

"Four months ago, that fox only had the strength of an average chunin," Danzo said, leaving it at that.

However, upon hearing this, the other four were struck with astonishment.

"This... how is that possible? Growing from chunin level to jonin level in four months?" After a long silence, Utatane Koharu still found it hard to believe.

They all understood what this meant.

If a ninja beast could increase its strength so much in just four months, it could only mean that its potential was incredibly high!

If Xian Yu were here, he would surely burst out laughing. If it weren't for the magical treasure that was Spirit Rice, Bai Xiaoqi certainly wouldn't have leaped from chunin strength to the threshold of jonin in just a few months.

Spirit Rice could, to a certain extent, accelerate the maturation of spirit beasts. However, the cost was immense; Xian Yu now only had one last pound of Spirit Rice left.

After all, Bai Xiaoqi didn't eat Spirit Rice like Xian Yu, who only ate one grain a day... having a pound left was the result of Xian Yu's meticulous rationing.

"Not only that, but a ninja beast of this size would also have an astonishing amount of chakra. If we really had to deal with it, even if we faced it individually, while we could suppress it, we would have to pay a significant price," Mitokado Homura said, habitually pushing up his glasses with a solemn expression.

"Could there really be a fourth sacred site?" The five looked at each other.

Torifu Akimichi seemed to think of something and added, "The most terrifying thing about such large summoning beasts is their appearance on the battlefield. Although they are far from being on the level of Tailed Beasts, they are also not as difficult to control as Tailed Beasts. So, in that so-called Qingqiu Mountain, are there other ninja foxes stronger and larger than this one?"

Human imagination is boundless, and the thought was truly terrifying.

"Actually, there is no need to worry too much. Not to mention that we have that person sitting in the village year-round. I observed that the fox is obedient to that little brat. Although the kid doesn't have much talent, he was trained by me, Danzo, personally. He is quite clever and won't cause any major trouble."

Danzo, who often used Xian Yu as a punching bag, was actually far more shocked than he let on. Over the past few months, Xian Yu's strength had risen like a rocket. Although he had kept a low profile, there were a few times when he had been provoked by the old thief Danzo and unleashed his full power. This made the "Darkness of the Ninja World" secretly click his tongue at such an astonishing rate of progress, ultimately attributing it all to the credit of a certain fox. For this, Danzo was actually somewhat pleased.

"Hmm, once this little guy grows up, if we can obtain the summoning scroll for Qingqiu Mountain, our Konoha will have added another foundation," Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, his heart heating up at the mention of the Slug Sage's summoning scroll.

He did not covet these things for himself, but if the village could possess another powerful, inheritable summoning beast scroll, it would naturally be a good thing—not to mention a summoning beast potentially on par with the Slug Sage. A summoning beast of that level was almost as strong as some of the lower-ranked Tailed Beasts.

"Have these two children, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, already grown to this extent?" At this moment, the image in the crystal ball showed Orochimaru and Jiraiya easily dealing with several third-year seniors. The Third Hokage, who had long been paying attention to these two children, muttered to himself.

"To think that even she has been alarmed... these troublesome brats!"

The scene returned to Xian Yu.

The entire battle process was actually very short, as it was nothing more than a blatant crushing. In the end, none of the seven 'seniors' managed to escape.

Just as Xian Yu was wondering why the efficiency of Konoha's Anbu was so low.

And what about the Uchiha Police Force?

The commotion here was not exactly small. Why hadn't anyone come to handle it yet?

Just then.

He turned around.

As it turned out, a person who was both unexpected and yet within the realm of reason appeared.

It was a woman. A very young, beautiful, and elegant woman.

At a time when Konoha was suffering from a lack of successors, and the Third Hokage and the rest of the high-level officials were still merely Jonin or elite Jonin—a time when there wasn't a single Kage-level expert!

The other four great ninja villages dared not step a single inch beyond the boundaries of Konoha.

She was the anchor of Konoha. The first Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. Uzumaki Mito.

Xian Yu stared blankly at Uzumaki Mito, who had appeared out of thin air behind him at some unknown moment.

She had beautiful red hair styled into two buns, and a pale purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead.

After a long silence, he slowly spat out a few words: "Beautiful lady, want to go on a date?"

Hokage Building, conference room. Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Torifu Akimichi.

Their mouths all hung open in the shape of an 'O'... ⊙o⊙
